Made a blog post about my work on the phase code and how I used it for X-value adjustment/azimuth adjustment:

(gah why won't the previews render for my links...)

Pictures of me debugging an issue with CTL track signal not being picked up by my JVC BR-S800U.

Previously only did head tilt adjustment coarsely, but now I did it finely too. Fixed the playback issues I was having!

Once I make a custom transparent top cover for BR-S800U, this setup would allow me showing the internals of the VCR during streams.

For now leaving the machine uncovered like that is a terrible idea since dust and debris and MY HAIR will fall into the working area... but I did test it out before and it works superbly.

Features to test vs success (for yesterday stream):
- New streaming server: playback freezing just before the show, switched back to legacy server
- New audio system: perfect song sequencing, all works including stuff like "play random song until time"
- Automatic VCR sequencing: full success, automatic sequencing works superbly

Very happy about VCR sequencing. Managing basic sequencing is a lot of effort for me (guh) so having the VCR go through sequences automatically is very lovely

The audio system is still a work in progress, here's some UI for it. Particularly happy about runtime song adjustments (intro/outro fade, trims, for tracker music - looping control)
